12 oz Carter Wide Travel Mug - Wide Mouth Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Coffee Mug - Tea and Coffee Tumbler - Travel Coffee Mug with Ceramic Interior - Stone Blue

I wanted to find an everyday mug after my favorite got shattered after use of three years. Normally, I only have a few kitchen items I use often so I wanted to buy something nice for a long term use. The mug came in a nice pouch which could be used to hooked onto a clip. I won't be taking it for a hike but I thought it was nice packaging. The packet info brochure came with the mug was in high quality. While the information is pretty self explanatory, the quality of the packet definitely added to the "unboxing" experience. I usually make 2 shots of espresso and add a cup of hot water in the morning. The mug kept it warm even after a couple of hours. I haven't gone to a lengthier time to test how long the liquid would stay warm because I usually finish drinking it before a couple of hours. The mug's surface has a light texture which helps to reduce fingerprints from hand oil which occurs naturally. The brand logo is not obnoxiously displayed like some other Amazon brands. If you like black color, you will definitely like this mug. The cleaning was pretty easy with warm soapy water. Though leaving the liquid too long may discolor the inside surfaces, if you clean it often as I do after each drink there won't be any issues.

So I bought this specifically to use on the road with an aeropress. So an aeropress does fit in this, but it's a tight fit. So tight, in fact, that when it's hot and has thermally expanded a bit, it's actually a little tough to get out. This isn't a huge problem, as it's usually cooled enough to take out by the time I've cleaned and straighten up the other parts of coffee brewing, but still worth noting. As a mug all its own, no real complaints. Holds temperature well, and the lid feels tight and hasn't been prone to leaking. It's small, which is good or bad. Easily fits in backpacks and cupholders (those in my car, at least), but might be a little small in volume for some people. Overall, it's easy to recommend and does the job well.

If you need, (or want) the contents to stay hot longer there are a number of things you can do to accomplish that. I use a number of options. I located a usable beer can insulator, and slid cup into one, and, measure how much to cut off of the top of second one and and capped it onto the top of the cup. I was amazed at how well it worked. And if you want, add additional insulating material....dry kitchen towel folded and wrapped around cup. The more insulating material you add to the cup, the better it holds heat. Additionally, you can slide the insulated cup into a plastic bag, (which stops any air, hot or cold). from seeping through the additional insulation even more). Use your imagination and basic physics, and you may have other ideas. Additional note....If you want to keep food or beverages hot or cold on a car trip and have no cooler, the same technic works....I keep a kitchen trash bag or two in trunk, and place food items in it first, then wrap all with beach towels, etc,....the thicker the better. May not be as good as a cooler, but works well in a pinch. I often drive to the beach, or elsewhere, and it works pretty well. Also cardboard boxes are a pretty good insulator, especially if wrapped. Just some thoughts I thought might be of interest.....cheers. Additional note: As this specific cup is a bit larger in diameter, you might need to locate a insulated container with a slightly larger diameter. Some possibilities would be a flexible insulator for a water bottle, or any other correct size that would work. Some beer can insulators are flexible enough that they will stretch enough to be ok. It also helps to select one with a flat bottom to enable the cup to sit flat and not tilt or fall over. I found two that I cut each just enough to put one on bottom of cup, and the other on the top with a snub fit. But if you have a need to want the contents to stay hotter longer, it is worth the effort. (I also think coffee seems to taste better because of the ceramic lining in the cup)

Very well constructed for those who enjoy their beverages. Pros: The curved design is the perfect match for lips. The ceramic interior coating truly does not alter the taste. The twist seal cap is a great addition for constant temperatures and reducing leakage. Cons: The design will most likely not fit into any standard cup holder. The twist cap requires some level of grip strength and at least two hands. The seal will not prevent all leaks if just thrown into a bag carelessly. Overall I enjoy the cup and I do recommend it but reservations on practicality if design.

Well made mug, Overall very pleased. I love the EKG+, (although Fellow is way past due to creating an Android App) but was disappointed with their Joey Mugs, so I was hesitant to purchase it, but I am glad I did. Prior to this, my "to go" mug was a Cortica (Ceramic Mug with Cork koozie), One of the few options that did not impart off flavors, but it did not retain heat like a double wall Contigo, and was not leak proof! The Contigo although retained heat and was mostly leak proof, always gave the coffee a bad flavor due to the metal, and hard to clean lid. I also didn't like trying to sip hot liquid out of the mouth piece, I found it hard to gauge the temp, and would often burn my tongue. It would stay scalding for too long, then by the time it was drinkable it tasted bad. The Carter Mug is different. It holds heat very well, I have yet to taste any off flavors. I was concerned the metal lip would burn your lips, but that has not been an issue. Having a wide mouth allows you to gauge the temp as you begin to sip. The Carter is not a mug you should try to drink from while driving, so that fact that it does not fit a cup holder, is not a deal breaker. This mug is designed more for tossing it in your bag, and still having a hot beverage when you get where you are going. Or for making a cup of coffee that you can sip for hours and still have a warm to hot cup. Coffee is always best when consumed shortly after brew, but things are not always ideal and the Carter helps bridge that gap. Pros: -Retains heat well (pre-heating is a must) -No off flavors even after the coffee sits in it all day -Easy to sip from, the thin lip is really nice. -Nice tight seal, no leaks -Easy to clean, I hope the ceramic coating holds up over time Cons: -The lid always drips after opening Other: Does not pour well. To be far, it is not designed to be a carafe, (Fellow maybe you can make a ceramic coated insulated carafe, after you release your ODE grinder). At home I like to brew a 30g:500g V60 into a hario glass carafe. Before owning the Carter mug, the coffee in the carafe would cool rather quickly, but I really had no other options to keep it warm, without reheating, or having a double walled metal container impart terrible taste. With the Carter, I brew my coffee, pour 170g into a Bodum double walled glass cup, and the rest into the Carter. When I finish my cup, I pour another 1/2 cup from the carter. I always spill a little down the side at the start and stop of the pour. From there I either pour another 1/2 cup or take the Carter with me around the house and finish it over the next few hours. It really does stay hot enough for me to enjoy for many hours. We are not talking 160 degrees all day, but it nicely holds a temp that is more enjoyable than not having it in the Carter. Opening it less helps, which is why I pour into a cup at first, and I'm sure if I left it unopened and full, the temp inside would remain much hotter. Overall, I like it, I'd buy another, and I'd recommend it to anyone, even if you don't need a to go mug, it's great for at home use too.

I use a Chemex pour-over for morning coffee, and this keeps the second cup hot for hours. The coffee literally steams as I pour it It is elegantly compact and sturdy, though it requires hand washing.And unlike many theromoses, you can drink directly out of it. I've gotten them for my entire family.

As with any other Fellow product I’ve purchased, this is fantastic. Keeps my coffee hot, leak proof, great size, and the sleeve it comes with protects the finish from scratching when I throw this mug in my backpack. A few notes to be aware of - this mug is a bit too large to comfortably fit in my car’s cup holders, additionally, because this is a completely closed mug, when you remove the lid and have hot coffee inside, there will be condensation and some drips that come off the cap. Neither of those notes are an issue for how I use this mug, but they are important to factor into your purchasing decision. Another well made Fellow product, thanks!

I got the smaller version, which is perfect for holding in the hand and looks sleek and unobtrusive. The ceramic coating does a decent job at preventing odors and acidic coating and residues, especially from coffee. The tight lip is a pleasure to drink out of, although I can't say it's really enhanced the olfactory experience, relative to any other cup, other than not ruining it with residual oxidized odors from previous brews. It fits the Aeropress well, although the Fellow Prismo attachment isn't that stable, due to the diagonal walls of the Prismo's filter basket. I thought that was a liiiiiitle strange that the company decided not to ensure its products are complementary, but it fits the regular filter basket of the Aeropress perfectly. Overall, this is a nice cup for making Aeropress into to prevent heat loss, and also works for single-cup pourovers, fitting the V60 without any issues.

This cup does exactly what I need. I make a black coffee at 7am and when I go to drink it at 1030/11 it’s too hot. I have to leave the lid off for a few minutes. I don’t pre warm the cup as it’s unnecessary. Perfect for bringing a coffee to work. No leaks. Love it.

Después de varios meses de uso se mantiene en perfectas condiciones. Lo utilizo para llevarme el té/café y no beber del malo que tenemos en el trabajo. - Las bebidas se mantienen calientes alrededor a 5-6 horas, si lo preparas por la mañana antes de trabajar, te lo puedes beber a temperatura óptima a media mañana. - Es fácil de limpiar, como por dentro esta recubierto de un material cerámico blanco, no es nada poroso y a veces sería suficiente enjuagarlo con agua y volver a depositar otra bebida en el mismo día. - No te tenido ningún problema de fugas y la goma de la tapa sigue manteniéndose en su sitio después de medio año. Es caro sí, pero cumple su cometido perfectamente, es limpio, mantiene las bebidas calientes y tienes la seguridad de que no se va a salir. Además es bonito, la gente me suele decir que parece un altavoz portátil. Repetiré con algún producto más de la marca.

I was looking for a small, modestly sized thermos style mug that was *actually* leak proof to take inside my bag on the way to work. This criteria is apparently not easy to find, and I was fairly hesitant with spending this much on something that I'd spent half as much on for twice the size before. Having not found anything else that matched all my criteria (not small enough, or not actually leak proof), I pulled the trigger on one of these. Although it is just a mug, I've been fairly blown away by how good it is. It's small and fits in bags much easier than most thermos mugs which tend to be tall and skinny. It is *actually* leak proof, the lid screws down tight, and you're not relying on a little silicone stopper jammed into a spout, to stop your entire coffee from filling the inside of your bag, like alot of other options at this size. You can quite confidently chuck it into your bag and not worry if it spins upside down. It keeps drinks nice and warm, or cold, for as long as most people would reasonably need. The ceramic inside also holds less of the stale coffee smell that gets into all thermos mugs, although, it does still happen. Cleaning is also much easier than other mugs. There aren't any moving parts or straws that are hard to clean, and the opening is wide so you can get your hand and a sponge in quite easily. It also looks great. The texture makes the external feel hard wearing and grippy in the hand. I'd definitely say that this is worth the extra money over other travel coffee mugs. Alot of 'brand names' sell products with premium price tags without offering anything unique or premium for the price, but that definitely isn't the case here.

Great, keeps drinks hot.

Increíble. El mejor mug que puedes comprar. Es perfecto, mantiene la temperatura y la frescura del café y chocolate. No se le sale nada. Comprare 3 más.
